We are currently using the Viewer to show a PDF.
This shows us the contents of the CropBox.
We also want to show the contence of the MediaBox if the user wants this.
For instance to view the Print Marks that are usually placed in the MediaBox outside of the CropBox.
How can we do this? Can it be done with the Viewer? do we need to use something else?

Hello marcovdlinden,
If you go to Document -> Crop pages - you will be able to see all the boxes around a given page in your document. It is quite a basic preview, but should do it, and if you want - you can also set the crop box to the full page's dimensions temporarily - and then preview the document fully in the standard Viewer window.
Best,
Stefan

Re: View Print Marks
My thoughts exactly, however I cannot find any PXCV_ functions that can retrieve the other box sizes, or temporarily change the CropBox to the MediaBox size of the opend document.

Hello marcovdlinden,
Seems like this topic is in the wrong forum so I will move it in the Viewer SDK one shortly.
As for the problem with the pageBoxes - yes there is currently no way to do this using the Viewer AX, but we do have a ticket in our system (originally created for this topic: https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... 44&t=12522 )
So that we can make the necessary changes that will allow you to use JS code from the next build in order to control those boxes.
Best,
Stefan
